ABSTRACT
The dangers of praise are that it can produce a person who
is egocentric, conceited;
is angry, distrustful and who has set such high standards that praise sounds insincere and he/she then thinks you cannot be very smart;
is dependent on expressed approval and appreciation to feel O.K.;
equates love with approval;
sees life as unfair if he/she is not praised for what he/she does; and/or
does not feel he/she should have to perform if there is no praise.
